Advantages: Some entertaining moments
Disadvantages: Largely over the top and unbelievable

...witnessed a new type of the legend Zorro when Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins combined to give us a double generation of the masked hero in The Mask Of Zorro.

Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude

As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie. It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn. The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers. Now if I didn't get this ...

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...

XXX2

Advantages: Great action some good music in it
Disadvantages: none really

...I do like the second xxx 2 the next level better that the first. I hope they bring a thrid out, the way the second is left leaves it open for a follow up. Vin is a really good actor but he is hardly in the second of any of his films and this is no exception. The second one is more upbeat and positive. The idea of the film is to recruit seceret agents that have been "Bad" a little like assasin if you have ever seen that. The agents then go undercover, ...
